My husband spent 4 years in the Marine Corps. During those years, he deployed twice to Iraq. During his second deployment we had a little addition to our family, his name is Ethan :)
Return from 2nd deployment, meeting Ethan for the first time
He has won over both our hearts and it's unbelievable that he just turned 3 years old!
3 years old
September of 2011, we took a leap of faith and move from Colorado back to Wisconsin. My husband quit his full-time job with gave up great benefits and I put off going back to college to follow our hearts. It was a tough decision to make, but we knew it was the right one because we felt God was leading us in this direction.
It has been a huge learning and growing experience. We have been so blessed along the way, as many great things have happen since the move! My husband got a full-time position working as a deputy sheriff and we just bought our first home. It's the first time in our lives where we are going to be able to settle in somewhere for longer than 6 months. It's amazing the things that happen when you let God lead your life.

I created Momma's Me Time as a way for me to ensure that I am getting a little time away to do the things I enjoy. I believe all Momma's deserve a little time to themselves and not feel guilty about it.
I was a single Momma for the first two months of Ethan's life (my hats off to all single mother). My husband was deployed to Iraq. It was a difficult time for me. I took on the Mommy role full force. I put all my time and effort into being the best Mommy I could be for Ethan. It might have helped me avoid the feelings I had with my husband missing during such an important time in our lives, and it might have been that I wanted to make up for the time he was missing with our baby. Either way, I started to neglect myself, my aspirations, and my goals in life to focus only on being a Mommy.
Around Ethan's 1st birthday, I noticed this was happening the most, and that is when I realized that being a good mommy didn't mean giving up everything important to me. Spending a little time on myself was okay, and as matter of fact, it would probably make me a better mom.
So this was my inspiration for naming my blog Momma's Me Time. It's reminder to me and other women, that taking a little time out of the day for ourselves is a great thing. Whatever that time may be to you. For me its crafting, running or photography (and now blogging). Even on day's I don't have time, its getting a free second to sit and enjoy my morning coffee :)
This has inspired me to start a series called My Me Time.
Every Friday I have wonderful women guest post about their 'me time' in hopes to inspire all women to find sometime in their day for themselves.
